silly doodle - thinking of renaming scriptorium to something more fun. Tessera is fun but it's not all squares so it makes no sense. Got any suggestions?
Doodles all the way down - a drawing toy that let's you zoom in a bunch (and then zoom in yet more..) sort of pointless as there is no format to save into or tool to load data back into.. lardratboy.github.io/research/scr...
flattened data projection, enjoy your low entropy data as a point cloud - lardratboy.github.io/nested/gemin...
my current favorite polyominoes - collect your own partial set here codepen.io/lardratboy/f...
screen grab from 'unified strata' (working title) this tool can drill down to see your data in different ways, not sure if it's useful but it is certainly a great distraction.. lardratboy.github.io/nested/neste...
interesting I didn't try firefox.. when you first start this is what you should see. (if not would you copy the developer console log and see if there is an error (or two showing))
toying with dataprism and projections, choose the data type, endianness and projection mode and discover something about your data :-)
Just what you've always wanted - a tool to 8 fold mirror point clouds, best used with smaller data files (small is defined by your GPU) codepen.io/lardratboy/f...
3D or 2d projections of a flat data file - if that is your type of #nerdything go try out my latest tool update. It now supports even more data types, more projections, more fun. Use fractional chunks sizes (0.0625) on old game data/ROM files it is a hoot. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...
Updated my chunked bytes to points tool - added tanh normalized float 16/32 support, updated ply exporter, added quantization. Give it a shot if you like looking at reasonably big data files and exporting them as point clouds. codepen.io/lardratboy/f...
curious shapes in motion (controls: mouse movement, left click pan, right click zoom) glslsandbox.com/e#75464.130
#Claude + #methehuman produced something fun to play with, try it out on numpy files, uncompressed data, #gamedev assets/rom files etc - if you try it out let me know if you find have any #feedback codepen.io/lardratboy/f...
I love looking at encoded data as points, wish I had the ram and compute power needed to do this 20+ years ago. (try your own data codepen.io/lardratboy/f...)
Here's an mockup of a slide puzzle game, still thinking it might be too complicated for us mere mortals with wetware brains.
